"Oh!" Meng Xue quickly looked at Miao Yi. He didn't look at Jiang Yiyi, but at Miao Yi's reaction. He said coldly, "Speak!"
Miao Yi was extremely nervous, but his face was expressionless. He didn't know what Jiang Yiyi wanted to say.
"After I was captured, I was tortured, but I didn't say anything. I don't know if anyone will believe me, so I can only use other methods to prove myself. I just hope that you don't make things difficult for my sister. Don't make things difficult for my sister …"
Just as everyone was trying to figure out what Jiang Yiyi meant, there was a sudden explosion. "Ah!" A few cries rang out. Miao Yi's pupils shrank.
Meng Xue quickly turned around and saw Jiang Yiyi's chest bursting with blood. He had self-destructed his heart meridian!
Everyone rushed over. Meng Xue turned pale with fright and quickly rushed over as well. Everyone was flustered as they quickly took out the Glorious Star immortal herb to treat Jiang Yiyi.
Miao Yi quickly stepped forward to take a look as well. He saw that Jiang Yiyi's body was still twitching, and a bloody hole had appeared on his chest. Perhaps it was because he had lost too much blood earlier, but after the explosion, there wasn't much blood flowing out of his body anymore.
Jiang Yiyi looked powerlessly at Miao Yi at the back of the crowd. His lips twitched as though he wanted to say something, but he didn't have the strength to.
Dazzling waves of starlight poured into Jiang Yiyi's body, desperately trying to save him. But it was useless. Jiang Yiyi's eyes gradually dimmed. Finally, he tilted his head to the side and stopped moving. Everyone's hands gradually froze as well. They were completely dumbfounded when they saw that Jiang Yiyi had stopped moving. They knew it was over.
His heart had already exploded. There was no way he could be saved. They just wanted to give it a try.
Miao Yi's emotions were complicated. He had thought of all sorts of scenarios, but he didn't expect Jiang Yiyi to self-destruct his heart meridian at this moment. How much courage did it take to commit suicide? He didn't know what Yun Zhiqiu had done to Jiang Yiyi to force him to commit suicide!
Meng Xue slowly stood up with a Glorious Star immortal herb in his hand. Even though he was usually calm and collected, his face was as black as the bottom of a pot. His expression was ugly, as though he wanted to eat someone alive.
He was one of the three heavyweights of the Right Division. Coincidentally, he was the closest to them, so he received the Right Emissary's message. The Right Emissary had repeatedly instructed them to bring the man back to the Right Ministry alive and nothing must happen to him. Therefore, he personally took action. Who knew that he would encounter such a thing? The dignified director personally took action, but he actually messed up the matter, and the person actually died in front of his eyes. He did not die in the hands of others, but had died in his hands. Moreover, it was because of his negligence that he had died in his hands. How could he report to the Right Ministry and explain to the Right Emissary?
Meng Xue abruptly turned his head to look at Miao Yi, his eyes filled with a murderous glint. Those in their line of work were used to being ruthless. In that instant, he even wanted to push the blame onto Miao Yi. However, Miao Yi had a powerful background, and the Kou Heavenly King was not someone to be trifled with. If it was anyone else, they might have just killed the culprit and pushed the blame away. However, Miao Yi couldn't do that.
If an ordinary person died, then so be it. However, Miao Yi had to give an explanation. With such a huge disparity in strength, why didn't they capture him alive? Why did they have to kill him so that there would be no evidence? One word from King Kou could put him on the spot, and King Kou had the right to interrogate all the members of the Right Division who were involved in this incident. By then, his ending would be even worse.
The murderous glint in Meng Xue's eyes gradually faded.
Miao Yi, who was on high alert, was secretly shocked. He knew that he had taken a trip to the gates of hell. He also realized that the Kou Clan's background had caused the other party to be afraid. Otherwise, with the other party's strength, it would not be a big deal to wipe out a headquarter.
"Director Meng. I don't understand what he means. I did not capture his sister. "Miao Yi waved his hand.
Meng Xue's lips tightened, but he ignored him. He took out the Star Bell and Gao Guan's communication device. After reporting the situation, he finally asked, 'Should we arrest the people of the Phantom City and investigate them?'
Gao Guan did not say anything. After a brief silence, he replied, 'No need. There must be something else going on. You are not responsible for this. Withdraw!'
He heard that the responsibility was not on him. Meng Xue heaved a sigh of relief. Fortunately, he did not act rashly just now. Otherwise, he would not have caused any trouble.
Since Gao Guan had already said so, what else could he say? He bade farewell and left.
"Director Meng, you still have to go through the necessary procedures." Miao Yi turned around and called out to Meng Xue as he walked past.
Meng Xue stopped in his tracks. He took out a jade archive and signed a document with Miao Yi. Miao Yi even offered to see him off, but the other party brusquely refused.
Outside the prison, Yun Zhiqiu and the others watched as Jiang Yiyi was carried out with a bloody hole in his chest. They watched as the group left.
Miao Yi was the last to come out. Everyone's gaze fell on him. Yun Zhiqiu asked, "What happened?"
Miao Yi sighed softly, his emotions complicated. "He self-detonated his heart meridians. We couldn't save him. He's dead!"
Everyone sighed when they heard this. Not everyone had the courage to commit suicide. Yun Zhiqiu turned to Fei Hong, who had her head lowered in silence, and said, "Little Sister, let's go."
After the women left, Yang Qing approached Miao Yi and asked suspiciously, "Why would he self-detonate his heart meridians to commit suicide?"
Miao Yi shook his head and said nothing. He silently walked away with a heavy heart. After returning to his room alone, he sat in silence.
Not long after, Yun Zhiqiu arrived. She sat down beside him and said, "I've already asked Fei Hong to report what she saw and heard. She's also testified that we didn't interrogate Jiang Yiyi with torture. Our side is completely cleared of any wrongdoing. We've passed this hurdle."
Miao Yi asked, "Why would he commit suicide? What did you do to him? "
Yun Zhiqiu sighed. "Nothing much. I just convinced him that there was no way he could leave the phantom market's headquarters alive. Even if he did, he wouldn't be able to survive. Then, I promised him something and gave him a little hope in exchange. It's better than dying for nothing." Yun Zhiqiu took out a jade archive and placed it on the tea table, then pushed it towards Miao Yi.
Miao Yi glanced at the jade archive on the tea table. He picked it up and examined it. He realized that it was a letter Jiang Yiyi had written to his little sister. After reading it, he understood what Yun Zhiqiu had done.
He admitted that he was relieved that Jiang Yiyi had committed suicide in such a way, but it also made his heart heavy. He could make a huge sacrifice for Yue Yao, and Jiang Yiyi could do the same for his little sister. From a certain perspective, he didn't think that Jiang Yiyi was a bad person. Perhaps Yue Yao hadn't judged him wrongly. Perhaps Jiang Yiyi truly loved Yue Yao. Was there a need for him to care so much about Jiang Yiyi's past evil deeds? After all, Jiang Yiyi had no other choice.
Yun Zhiqiu asked himself if his actions had broken up a pair of true lovers, especially when one of them was his Little Sister. It filled him with guilt.
"You really are a silent killer. You actually forced a living person to commit suicide!" Miao Yi scoffed. He placed the jade archive back on the tea table and pushed it back to Yun Zhiqiu.
Yun Zhiqiu had a complicated look in her eyes. "Are you blaming me? Blaming me for not helping Little Sister and him? "
Miao Yi shook his head. "No. I just thought that you should have told me beforehand. Yet, you kept it from me and refused to tell me."
Yun Zhiqiu said, "Did I make you feel uncomfortable? Look at how you treat your Little Sister. I don't even know where that decisive Niu Er is now. Would you have agreed if I told you? I had no choice but to help you this once. Isn't that a good ending? Even if you let them be together, do you think Jiang Yiyi would give up his little sister's life to be with his Little Sister? Even Jiang Yiyi himself knows how to avoid it! Nothing good will ever happen between the two of them. If they continue, they will only hurt each other. This is for Little Sister's own good. Don't you understand? "
"I understand." Miao Yi slowly rose to his feet and walked over to a painting hanging on the wall. With his hands behind his back, he studied it and sighed. "I just don't know how to explain this to Little Sister."
Yun Zhiqiu also stood up and walked over to his back. "You know that letting Jiang Yiyi leave will bring about endless trouble in the future. You don't want him to leave alive either. Yet, you can't do it because of Little Sister's feelings. Now that Jiang Yiyi has committed suicide for his little sister, what's there to explain? Isn't this the best possible outcome?"
Miao Yi asked, "But we were the ones who pushed for this. Even if we can hide it from the rest of the world, can we hide it from ourselves? How would you feel if someone forced me to commit suicide one day? "
Yun Zhiqiu wrapped her arms around his back and said, "I know you don't like what I'm doing. You might even think that I'm too cruel, and that it makes you tremble in fear. But have you ever thought about it from my perspective? You're willing to take such a huge risk for Little Sister, but what do you expect me to do? Can I just watch as my man takes such a huge risk? I don't care if you're upset or not, but I still have to say this. If I were given another chance, I would still do it. I have no other choice! "
Miao Yi pried her hands away and turned around to see that her eyes were wet and red. He smiled bitterly and pulled her into his embrace. Gently stroking her back, he said, "Sister Qiu 'er, you're overthinking things. I don't have anything against you. I just don't think I can explain this to Little Sister. I'm afraid she'll be sad."
Yun Zhiqiu raised her head from his embrace and said, "Tell me the truth. Don't brush me off. Really?"
Miao Yi replied, "What do you think? Before I married you, I already said that even if I had to die by your hands, I would be willing. "
Yun Zhiqiu let out a soft moan and buried her head in his embrace. Her eyes were filled with gratitude as she enjoyed the warmth of his embrace. Her expression was one of bliss, so blissful that she wanted to cry. However, she still grumbled, "Niu Er, your biggest problem is that you're always confused when it comes to matters of the heart. Whenever you encounter something like this, you always hesitate."
Miao Yi didn't think so. "How could I? I didn't hesitate in the slightest to marry you all those years ago. I was so decisive that I was willing to give up my life just to marry you. Don't tell me you've forgotten about it so quickly? "
Yun Zhiqiu couldn't help but tear up uncontrollably. She bit down hard on Miao Yi's shoulder and refused to let go. She wanted nothing more than to fuse her body with his. Yun Zhiqiu couldn't stop herself from tearing up. She bit down hard on Miao Yi's shoulder.
